AMBCrypto and The Cryptonomist EN both cover the $7M Duelbits hack but cite different USDT figures stolen by the attacker.

What all sources agree on

  • Duelbits crypto hack drains $7M as casino goes offline
  • The attacker received 836 ETH… 97,000 USDC, 31,500 DAI, and 12.4 billion SHIB.
  • A loss of 8.1 BTC from the BTC wallet of Duelbits was later detected.
  • Most of the stolen tokens were exchanged for Ether and brought together in a single address.
  • The address held about 2,234 ETH, valued at roughly $6 million, following the transfers.
  • Scam Sniffer first detected a string of unusual transfers from Duelbits wallets on BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Tron.
  • Confirming a ~$7M hack. Still investigating exactly what happened and how.

Where the reports disagree

1Amount of USDT stolen

The attacker received approx. 593,000 USDT

What would settle it: The relevant Etherscan/Tronscan transaction records for the Duelbits hot wallet outflows to the attacker's address.

What to make of it

Treat the overall $7M hack, the ETH/USDC/DAI/SHIB/BTC figures, and the consolidation into a single Ethereum address as established across both reports; the exact USDT amount stolen (593,000 vs 1.62 million) remains unresolved pending on-chain verification.
